## What is wrong

THE THROTTLE RETURN SPRING ASSEMBLY MAY FAIL PREVENTING   THE THROTTLE FROM RETURNING TO THE CLOSED \(IDLE\) POSITION WHEN THE ACCELERATOR   PEDAL IS RELEASED.                                                                                                                                                CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: ENGINE SPEED MAY NOT DECREASE AND LOSS OF ACCELERATOR     CONTROL COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.


## The remedy

REPLACE THROTTLE RETURN SPRING.


## Notes

SYSTEM: THROTTLE RETURN SPRING. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER CARS EQUIPPED WITH 2.5 LITER 4 CYLINDER ENGINES.
